Title: Logic behind the Pushback?
Post by: torsten on December 31, 2018, 07:24:31 pm

Hello,

can you pls. explain a bit the logic behind the Pushback ?

I have Problems with EDDP Gate 401/402 and changed the AFCAD File like in the attached Picture.
BUt the Truck pushes the Aircraft on another way. Some curves he pushes the ircraft 90° and some not ??

Can you explain how the Taxipath in the AFCAD File have to look so that the Pushback takes the way of the Taxipath?

There is a Video of what i did:

thx

From a cursory look at your AFCAD with ADE, I think the issue is that you have two taxiway links starting from the same parking, and they both can connect to the end node you specified and, since GSX likely took the one passing through the not closest to the parking, it might not have enough space to turn the whole airplane.

You must consider the pushback is not affected just by the airplane length, but by the overall length of the system composed by the airplane, the towbar and the pushback vehicle, so it needs enough space to fit a curve and, when it can't, it will do strange rotations to solve something that cannot mathematically solved otherwise.

Try using a target node that ensure it will use the other path.

ok, i tried to solve the Problem that GX can not TOW the Plane.
But anyway, i have installed original ( not changed AFCAD ) TNCM from FlyTampa.
If you do a Pushback from Gate 4 (medium, so big enough for my 7378) you have the same issue.

Of course, without looking at the AFCAD you are referring to, I cannot possibly explain why it doesn't work as you expect, but I'm sure I'll be, if you could send me that AFCAD, even by email.

Yes, but since it was a weekend, you cannot expect we would always work 24/7, and giving answers immediately, 24/7.

Had you the time to check the PB in TNCM?

Sorry, no. Unfortunately, the main GSX programmer is sick since the last week, and we are also working on a big update, so there wasn't any time to look at this.
